Overview
Mr. Peter Jones has vowed to get married. In his efforts to secure a desirable wife he has inserted some advertisements in the newspapers. So we find him going through hundreds of letters as he thrusts aside disdainfully the greater number of photographs accompanying the answers. One letter finally finds favor in his eyes; the writing is excellent, the phrasing is pleasing and the photograph which he extracts from the envelope shows to him the likeness of a young girl, pretty, smiling, lovely, in every way ideal for a life’s companion. But while he dreams with half-open eyes of the joys in store for him, old Truth comes out of a well in the middle of the room, and she presents to him a mirror in which he may see reality.

Leans Traditional
Primary
This early Georges Méliès film is a fantastical comedy centered on a unique wedding arrangement, prioritizing visual gags and spectacle over any discernible social or political commentary, resulting in a neutral ideological stance.
This early 20th-century film features traditional casting and narrative framing, consistent with its historical context. It does not engage with modern concepts of diversity, equity, or inclusion in its character representation or thematic content.
Secondary
Georges Méliès's 'A Wedding by Correspondence' (1904) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on a heterosexual couple's arranged marriage and their subsequent comedic disappointment. Therefore, the film has no net impact on the portrayal of LGBTQ+ identities.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This 1904 film by Georges Méliès is an original work without pre-existing source material or historical figures. Therefore, its characters are new creations for the film, precluding the possibility of a gender swap from prior canon.
This 1904 film is an original work by Georges Méliès, not an adaptation or biopic. Its characters do not have a pre-existing canonical or historical racial identity from source material or prior installments that could be subject to a race swap.
